Hello,

Here are the final glamour shots of the cocobolo uke I’ve been working on for the last 6 weeks. The build thread is here - viewtopic.php?t=53103

The details:
- Cocobolo back and sides (Hibdon)
- Adirondack spruce top
- Cocobolo bridge, fretboard and rosette.
- Ebony bindings
- Rubner tuners
- UV cured poly finish

I will record and post some sound clips of it, the tone is nice, it’s the first low G uke I’ve played. It has nice sustain and seems balanced, not jangly or too bright.

I’m going to post the pics a bit larger than normal. For those on PC it will seem huge. Tapatalk will scale them automatically.

Thanks for looking!

Brad

Thanks for the comments. Here is my poor attempt at playing it. I recorded with a SM57 and an iRig Duo attached to an iPhone.
